% TUNA: Toolkit for Underwater Noise Analysis % Paul Barker % June 2013
The TUNA project aims to provide a toolkit for the real-time acquisition and signal processing of underwater acoustic data, implementing both existing and novel analysis methods. It is written and maintained by Paul Barker as part of his PhD studies at Loughborough University. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 (see COPYING in the source tree or view the license online) and made available to the community to assist with the assessment, monitoring and mitigation of the adverse effects of anthropogenic noise on the marine environment.
This software is currently in the early development stages and may not be suitable for its final intended use yet. The software has only been tested on Linux and support for other operating systems will be added at a later date. However, you are invited to help test this software and report any feedback, bugs or feature requests via the issue tracker.
There are currently no pacakged releases of TUNA. Sources can be downloaded from
the official project page but are best obtained by git:
git clone https://bitbucket.org/underwater-acoustics/tuna.git
This software has a few dependencies beyond a basic Linux system capable of building and running software:
- fftw (tested with version 3.3.3)
- libsndfile (tested with version 1.0.25)
- alsa-lib (tested with version 1.0.27.1)
On Arch Linux, this software can be installed via the command:
pacman -S fftw libsndfile alsa-lib
The command for other Linux distros is left as an excersize for the reader.
Once the dependencies are met, the software can be build and installed via
invocation of configure followed by make in the root directory of the
project:
./configure
make
make install
That's all there is to it for installation with default settings. However,
several settings can be overridden by providing arguments to the configure
script. For example, to install in an alternative directory ~/tuna, the
configure call would be:
./configure --prefix=~/tuna
Other settings will be documented soon...
It is also possible to build the sources out of tree:
mkdir ../tuna-build
cd tuna-build
../tuna/configure
make
make install
The configure script should be able to find the source tree based on the path used to execute it. However the search is fairly naive and could easily get lost. I hope to improve this soon.
